Author David Kudler is excited to announce that he has entered into an option agreement with Little Idea Media to develop an episodic television show based on his young-adult historical novel Risuko: A Kunoichi Tale.

Maury Sterling (Homeland) and Alexis Boozer Sterling launched their production company Little Idea Media to create stories that challenge narrative, perspective, and tradition. They have produced the short film Blood and Water, the feature��My Dead Friend Zoe (winner of the 2024 SXSW Audience Award), and,�� most recently,��Baby Love.

Little Idea Media seeks to create and produce media that celebrates the challenges, triumphs, work, and stories of the every human.�� Our mission is to find common ground through curiosity, accuracy, compassion, and service, and to provide opportunities for voices that have not been heard, and voices that serve discourse and growth. By challenging our own biases, tendencies and habits, we hope find a more powerful and inclusive point of view and to constantly strive to experience and embody, a higher calling and expression.

Risuko is the first in the award-winning Seasons of the Sword series of historical novels.

Risuko: A Kunoichi Tale (Seasons of the Sword #1)Can One Girl Win A War?

Though Japan has been devastated by a century of civil war, Risuko just wants to climb trees. Growing up far from the battlefields and court intrigues, the fatherless girl finds herself pulled into a plot that may reunite Japan — or may destroy it. She is torn from her home and what is left of her family, but finds new friends at a school that may not be what it seems.

Someone ��� a student? a teacher? an outsider? ��� is playing the kitsune. The mischievous fox spirit is searching for��� something. What do they want? And what will they do to find it?

Magical but historical, Risuko follows her along the first dangerous steps to discovering who she truly is.
